Children may need surgery for a variety of reasons, to remove a ruptured appendix, to repair a birth defect, or to help them grow up strong. When your child needs surgery, you want a team of experts you can trust.

At The University of Miami Health System, our experienced pediatric surgeons offer personalized care for children of all ages, from newborns to teens. Our board-certified surgeons perform more than 2,000 surgeries a year at different pediatric hospitals in Miami Dade County, including Holtz Children’s Hospital. We have the skills and knowledge your child needs to lead a healthier life.

We offer family-centered care designed to help you and your child feel comfortable and confident in their care. We partner with parents to choose the right treatment and, when possible, use minimally invasive techniques to reduce your child’s risk for pain, infection, and scars while helping them get back to their activities faster.
